Currently Open: Dystopia/Utopia
TurboSquid is proud to announce our second annual 3D art competition, and we’re offering thousands in cash and prizes to the winners! This year’s theme is Dystopia/Utopia, and we’ll award prizes to the top 3 entries. Artists will have until January 10, 2019, to make a 3D rendered scene and submit it to us.
Anything from idealized skylines or nightmare cityscapes to something more abstract that fits the theme is fair game. Be creative! We want to see your perception of the future and what you envision the world becoming as we head into 2019. Will our planet evolve into a fantastic futuristic Eden where disease and strife are eradicated, or will Earth be plunged into complete chaos and anarchy? It’s up to you to convince us to either ease up in anticipation of the coming paradise, or to hunker down and prep for a stressful time ahead.
Submit Your Entry!
Want to share your WIPs, renders, and more from this contest? Join our discussion on the TurboSquid forums, or share your images with us on Twitter (@TurboSquid) using the hashtag #DystopiaUtopia3D.

Hum3D has launched a new art challenge for the best car in post-apocalyptic style. Build zombie survival vehicles or something from the Mad Max universe – no limits for your creativity.
Everything is as usual: you have to create a car 3d model, put it into a 3D environment and make a beautiful render. Primarily we will pay attention to the visual component of your works, but this is not all that you need to win. The idea of the work is also very important for us, as well as its presentation, complicacy (both of the model and of the scene) and quality of performance.
Hum3D
You can learn more here. As always, don’t forget to study the rules.The winners will get some awesome prizes, so don’t miss the chance. The team is waiting for your works from March 13 to May 29.

Inspired From the movie: ‘LEAGUE OF EXTRAORDINARY GENTLEMEN’, I decided to go with the stretch look for vehicles, like NEMO’S CAR! so I did a sketch and started blocking out, shaping and sculpting my own ideas. I just learnt the 3d coat software 2 weeks ago. 4 days in and this is what I have so far. Got a ways to go so much to add! This software is amazing artists can make their ideas come to life! This is so much fun!

Hi all! this contest sure looks fun, im still working on the concept but so far the idea is to mix elements of old vehicles, wepons and the robot/tank idea.
come and watch from time to time, any ideas, coments and critics are most than welcome.

Hi, there. I'm a little late to the party.
Will post my progress here.
After a lot of references , I decided to create some context to the piece. It's a racing, maybe inspired by wacky races or something like that.
This is the first pass on the car:
The design is not final though but pretty close.

hear is my entry to the contest I have been using 3dcoat for several years i think it needs some improvement especially in the render area but its the best 3d software out there I am unconventional in that my models are all to complex to convert to polygons so i use the surface paint tool for texturing if i win the contest i would like to see a system to add an optional custom floor mesh made of polygons that shadows could render on to for compositing with background images i would also like to see the model not get moved relitave to the background image when you press render this makes compositing a nightmare
so hear is my thread drop in and check out my progress

Hi ! I would like to make the train in the Syberia game. I'm a beginner with 3D Coat.
I've started some basic shapes on 3D Coat but I'm not satisfied with the result for now ... I struggle to have nice and smooth shapes so no screenshots of it today

First Model Challenge - June
Ahh, the summer.. What better time to start modeling? *Insert any other time of the year* - yes, yes - we know, it's always a good time to start doing some wicked digital art.
The rules are the same - your first model uploaded on CGTrader is an entry for the challenge.
We're partnering 3D-Coat who are handing out Professional licenses for the top 3 contestants. Let the 3D modeling summer begin!
Participation

Have you ever read the book "The Leviathan" by Scott Westerfeld? It's named for a steampunk vehicle that's a huge part of the plot and looks awesome.
Here's some reference (an illustration from the book, I believe):

Has anyone looked at the Art Station Challenges.
They are currently holding one called The Journey. The goal is to make a scene, vehicle, or character who looks like they are going on a journey or returning from one.
They are also holding this years THU challenge

We love nature and that includes the Third Dimensional one. That's why we can't have too many of nature-themed challenges!
Oh, since it's fun to keep trying the new things for the challenges, we're having this one a bit modified - naming three different categories for the competition - Animals, Plants and Environment. Choose the one that fits you best, put your ideas to the 3D, render them and create a memorable and worthy winner!
We're teaming up with Fox Render Farm (Rendering fees), Exlevel (GrowFX Licenses), 3DCoat (Professional Licenses), Video Copilot (3D Shader Bundles), Dosch Design (Tree Libraries) and CGCookie (Memberships) to bring you the prizes worth fighting for!
